Ivanka Trump's Twitter bio edit is raising eyebrows

Ivanka Trump removed a key line from her Twitter bio, and women aren't impressed

Members of the Trump family making headlines for their social media activity is nothing out of the ordinary.President Trump’s daughter Ivanka is in the firing line this week, but not for something she’s written online - quite the opposite, in fact.
The First Daughter recently removed the words “passionate advocate for the education and empowerment of women and girls” from her Twitter bio, and it has certainly not gone unnoticed.

The 36-year-old’s profile now reads, “Wife, mother, sister, daughter. Advisor to POTUS on job creation + economic empowerment, workforce development & entrepreneurship.”
Since she began working in the White House following her father’s election victory in 2016, Ivanka had positioned herself as a champion for women’s causes.

“I guess she finally got honest with herself,” one user wrote.
“Well, we've known that for a while that her job clearly didn’t entail advocating for women and girls. It just took her a while to realize that, I guess,” another added.
Addressing Ivanka directly, one user wrote, “So you changed your Twitter bio and removed that you’re an advocate for women, eh? Because you had to. Because you’re not.”

While it's not known exactly when Ivanka edited her profile, some pointed out that it appeared to coincide with the Women's Marches that took place across the US over the weekend, protesting many of the Trump administration's women-focused policies.
Social media isn’t the only place Ivanka has faced criticism for her self-proclaimed advocacy on behalf of women.
In one particularly memorable scorched-earth opinion piece last year, writer Lindy West lambasted the White House advisor for not fulfilling her promises to the women of America.

“Ivanka Trump is never going to come through. Coming through isn’t her function,” West argued in the New York Times.
“She has played her role dutifully, pretending to care about women’s upward mobility just enough to soothe the complacent and provide plausible deniability for her father.”Saturday Night Live also branded the First Daughter ‘complicit’ in a skit in which she was portrayed by actress Scarlett Johansson.
